Hi

I am looking for a tool allowing to get periodically
the network load of some machines on a local area network
(Linux and Solaris 8), and the amount of information
between clients and servers of my distributed application.

The aim is to gather enough information to optimize
the distribution of my processes over the network,
to know which clients/servers are the most bandwith
consuming in runtime conditons, and so on ...

I tried netstat, but this does not give me full
satisfaction, and the result is different on Linux
and Solaris.

Thanks for any advice !

Nicolas
